> Barlow's friends and family are staging a benefit concert to fund his
> Wellness Trust on Monday, October 24 in Mill Valley.  It's at the
> Sweetwater Music Hall and will include music by many of Barlow's
> friends and collaborators, including Bob Weir, Jerry Harrison, Lukas
> Nelson, Members of String Cheese Incident, Ramblin' Jack Elliott, Sean
> Lennon, and Les Claypool.
>
> There will also be an auction of art pieces and prizes donated for the
> occasion.
>
> Tickets are $500.  VIP tickets for a 6:30pm reception are $1000.
>
> All the proceeds will go into the John Perry Barlow Wellness Trust,
> which was set up by his three daughters and friends to provide for his
> care and recovery.  In addition, they're accepting donations to the
> trust independent of the benefit, at:

> I spent some hours with Barlow yesterday at UCSF Hospital.  He is in
> good spirits after an abdominal operation a week ago to remove a
> blockage from his small intestine that had plagued him for six weeks.
> He is still in the intensive care unit, and hasn't set foot on the
> ground for weeks, so he will again have to work hard to regain some
> mobility.  But he has recovered his mental capacity and good humor
> after a challenging bout of postoperative delirium.  The staff is
> hoping to transfer him to an ordinary UCSF hospital room today.  His
> short-term goal is to become able enough to attend his own benefit in
> two weeks!
>
> I'll see you at Sweetwater...

> PS: If you have any Barlow memorabilia, or art objects you weren't
> really using, and you want to include them in the auction, let me or
> his daughter Anna Winter Barlow know.  Any old copies of "Decrypting
> the Puzzle Palace?"  Any "Declarations of Independence of Cyberspace"?
> Etc...
